@bosshognews: "I'm looking for a replacement PAYG for my teenage daughter, so have been 
'shopping' around on the net for some deals. 
However, I haven't been able to resolve <url> (or .com) all 
day today, and was wondering if anyone else had issues?
I've tried a TRACERT, but that just says site can't be resolved....
[shrugs]
All the other sites I've visited throughout the course of today have 
been fine (Virgin, O2, Phones4u etc).
Browser is Firefox 1.5, ADSL via Plusnet (until my migration to Zen 
completes in the next few days)
I'm using 83.161.120.155 & 83.161.120.155 as my DNS
Anything I can do?"

Your browser has little to do with resolving DNS. In this case both those 
DNS servers do not resolve <url>

You should take this issue up with Fastnet. "
    @emailaddressisinvalid: "<quote>
As another poster has pointed out, this is to do with Fastnet's DNS 
servers being 'on the wonk'.
Changing your browser won't help.
For now use different DNS server addresses. Pipex's are 83.161.120.155 
and 83.161.120.155, try those or look on Google for some others.
You could access orange.co.uk with it's IP address, 83.161.120.155, but 
you'll have problems here as soon as you hit a link that needs DNS to 
resolve it."

Working ok here, just tried it. Now there's something unusual for Orange 
these days..!
Strangely enough, it's still showing as active an account I closed 2 weeks 
ago...

Nothing to do with those :)
As a previous poster has pointed out, the DNS server he's using isn't 
resolving Orange's address.. Dig still says it isn't:
root@milkyway:~$ dig @83.161.120.155 <url>

The account will still be on the systems, just with no subscriptions 
attached to it.

Why..? Why don't they delete it altogether..? It's showing my Answerfax 
number as the only number on the account, the main number that I ported 
out has gone off the system but the Answerfax number is still there. I 
haven't tried calling it to see if it still answers..!

Many reasons, for example if you re-apply to Orange, if you make a 
subject access request under the DPA etc.

    @ivor: "news:<email_address>

Fair enough, but why is it still accessible on the web and why only with 
the Answerfax number shown as the only number on the account..?
Does it stay there forever or will it be deleted in time..? Presumably 
storage space isn't infinite..?

Perhaps the poster is getting mixed up with the Mozilla suite, which is 
up to v1.7, or v1.7.12 to be precise."

No idea.
I expect it will get purged or archived after a period of time.
